Does Lysol Spray Kill Dust Mites?
Lysol spray is an effective product to use for killing dust mites. This product, which is a disinfectant, contains ingredients that can eliminate 99 percent of the allergens that cause germs. Allergens include dust mites, mold, pollen, ragweed and animal dander.
Dust mites are microscopic creatures that live in places like bedding, furniture, mattresses and carpeting, which feed on dead skin from humans or animals. The dust mite population grows larger in warm weather, according to WebMD. For this reason, there is an increase in dust mite allergies in the United States during the summer months of July and August.
To kill dust mites and reduce the likelihood of allergies associated with this particular allergen, one can clean rooms in the home thoroughly and then spray Lysol to bedding, furniture and any other place where dust accumulates. Allow the product to dry completely and repeat this treatment every week. This product can be used on fabrics.
